In today’s episode Mollie and Katie talk about book to movie adaptations - good ones, bad ones, and ones that are yet to be; ones that are (maybe, don’t stone them) better than the book, ones we like better than the critics, and ones that don’t live up to the book at all. They mention SO MANY, and the list is far from exhaustive. They also reveal some unpopular bookish opinions (again, don’t stone them).

Hi friends! We're excited to share this episode withBooks Rachel Reads. She talks to us about book bullet journaling, and we discuss the challenges and joys of book tracking! Make sure to follow her on Instagram!

In episode two Mollie and Katie talk about their reading goals - such as they are - for the year of 2019. They also lament their reading speed, reminisce about their Titanic obsessions, get excited about Middle Grade March, and talk about Mollie’s beloved pet, Zoe the Snake Dog.

We dragged our husbands onto the podcast! If you can even hear us past all the laughter, we talked about Steve's and Aaron's reading taste, Mollie Mayhem and Katie Chaos moments, our favorite books and Thanksgiving sides (after much deliberation), and much more!

Thanks so much for sticking with us for an entire season, listeners! We're so thankful for you, and we're excited for season 2! Stay booked, and stay tuned for more information on what's coming next! We'll see you in 2019!

Welcome to our penultimate episode of No Thanks We’re Booked’s Season One! Today Mollie and Katie chat about what they’re reading, catch up a little bit, and talk about all the exciting things they hope for in Season Two. They’re not going anywhere! Just taking a little break over the holidays to plan and gear up for things to come! Email the podcast at nothankswerebooked@gmail.com to give us some feedback (just be gentle).

Hi listeners! As I mentioned in the beginning of this episode, we wanted to apologize for the audio quality—we had some audio tech issues, but we wanted to try and save this episode because we LOVED talking with Karin so much! Though it’s a bit muffled, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We talk about Karin’s publishing journey, what it’s like to be an author, why YA is so important, and so much more! Plus, some fun stories about Katie and Karin as kids (Mollie wishes she had been friends with them back then. *tears*)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FRIENDS! We hope you’re having a very spooky day! Today, we are so excited to talk with our friend Stephanie from Books in the Freezer - a podcast dedicated to horror books. We talk about the fact that Mollie and Katie are big scaredy cats and don’t read much horror (well, Mollie never, and Katie rarely) and how to dip your toes into the genre if you never have before. Stephanie is SO much fun and SO articulate. We hope you enjoy listening to her talk about this particular branch of fiction and why she finds it so compelling!

Well friends, we asked, and you answered. We're sharing ALL of our bookish problems in this new episode!

What do you do when all your library holds come in at once? Want to read diversely, but don't know where to start? How do you push past the fear of annotating? How do you prioritize reading over responsibilities in life? Do you pick the new release or a backlist title for your next read?

How do you get over reading slumps? We attempt to offer advice in this episode, and if we don't have advice, we at least share in declaring that #TheStruggleIsReal. It's so nice to be among other readers who GET. IT.

Last month, Katie and Mollie read I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O’Farrell for the No Thanks, We’re Booked book club and were inspired to talk about their own (maybe) near death experiences. We all have ‘em, even if they don’t feel eventful. M & K even share some of the stories that you, our listeners, sent in to us!

Hi everyone! This was such a special episode for us because we got to hear some of YOUR favorite classics! Thanks to all our listeners who sent in audio clips. You inspired us to read new and revisit old classics!

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie attempt to name their favorite books of all time. And they mostly accomplish it. But it’s hard when you’ve got favorites that span categories...should favorite children’s books be lumped in with favorite adult books? Should favorite fantasy be mixed in with favorite literary fiction? The struggle to pick favorite books is real, friends. The struggle is real. IT’S SO HARD.

Chatting with vlogbrothers cohost and debut author Hank Green was such a treat, friends! We talked about his new book, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, and the motivation behind it, what it was like working on it, what it has to say about power, internet fame, and how culture deals with the uncertain and unknown.

This is an important book, listeners, and we're so thankful to Hank for writing it (not to mention it's a total page-turner!).

Today Mollie and Katie catch up a little bit about their busy summers before diving into talking about all things re-reads. We talk about all the reasons for re-reading and we mention a few of the books we’ve re-read ourselves. We even drop a Friends reference or two...because there’s a Friends reference for every situation in life. So says Katie, anyway.

Hi friends and readers! Katie and I spent this entire episode catching up on what we've been reading (and the book-to-movie adaptations we've been watching), including Anne of Green Gables, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, Crazy Rich Asians, Walk Two Moons, and so much more. Check it out and let us know what you're currently reading!

In today’s episode, Kenzie, Mollie’s IRL friend, avid reader, and Special Education Teacher joins us to talk about disability representation in books. We discuss great books where the main characters have a disability, some not so great books, and we talk about the need for more; more disabilities represented across genres, and done well. Kenzie is also a fellow Anne of Green Gables fan, so we gush about our favorite carrot top and try not to leave Mollie behind (who while recording this episode was only four pages into the book).

Today, we're catching up in a rather informal, chatty episode! We talk about what's going on in life, what we're reading (and we GUSH about The Great Alone), and answer some rapid-fire questions, including:

Favorite summer read?Unpopular bookish opinions?Where would you live if you could live anywhere?What books have gotten you through a rough patch?

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie talk about all kinds transformation stories. We mention how most good stories include transformation but how that may be different from a transformation story. And we talk about the transformations we’ve gone through in our own life. This episode was recorded the day after we recorded another episode, so we switch things up a little bit and talk about the books we want to read next rather than what we’re currently reading. AND we talk about the author dinner parties we’d love to crash - but you’ll just have to listen to find out who those groups of authors are! Listen, won’t you?

We're so thrilled to get to talk to Keiko Agena, artist, actress, and author of No Mistakes: A Perfect Workbook for Imperfect Artists. Keiko is best known for her role as Lane Kim on the TV show Gilmore Girls, which just so happens to be a favorite show of ours!

We loved diving into what makes this workbook/creative journal so special, and how Keiko Agena encourages people to put aside pressures of perfection to embrace beautifully flawed art!

We talked about finding your "artist" voice when you don't feel creative, pushing creative boundaries, loving your process, and how learning to tap into your creativity without fear can bring a little more kindness into this world.

In today's episode, we chat with Julie from A Girl and a Book all about what it's like to move across the country, our favorite books that have a big move or road trip plot, and a lot of other bookish things, like insta love in books, the idea of book flights, DNFing books, and much, much more.
